CHAPTER 1894: CHAPTER 894 CAUSING TROUBLE, RETURNING HOME_2

No matter whether what he said was true or false, at least he spoke up, which somewhat eased the fears of the small shop owner and his family. The middle-aged man gave an address, and the woman even mustered up the courage to chat with him for a bit.

Once the atmosphere in the restaurant calmed a bit, Lin Haihu casually advised the three: "Hurry up and make the steamed buns, or else you won’t be able to open on time. I’ll leave as soon as I finish my call, so I won’t delay your business."

This kid has grown taller recently, and now with a cloth covering his face, his voice was muffled, and people truly hadn’t realized he was just a rascal. While he was chatting, he kept redialing the phone. Thankfully, just as he was about to narrate the thrilling moment when he ’himself’ went to interview villagers buying brides, the call connected.

If it hadn’t connected, he would really have had nothing else to say, and it was almost dawn.

"Cousin, I’m in trouble." Lowering his voice, Lin Haihu quickly reported the situation as soon as the call went through. "I’m hiding now, the location is... You better come get me, or I’m doomed... When can you get here? I’m in serious trouble, I’ve lost stuff, and they’ll definitely find me, there’s video on the recorder of when I used to record at home..."

By the end, even someone as shameless as him was a bit embarrassed—having exploited his cousin so much was really unprecedented. The key was, he was still using this phone to call his cousin, and if someone were to trace the call back here, finding his cousin would be way too easy.

...

Yan Fei was earlier standing somewhere in the wilderness, looking at a text message on his phone. Suddenly receiving a call from Lin Haihu nearly made him explode with rage.

The bastard Lin Haihu wouldn’t say he was in trouble unless he absolutely had to, right? Definitely not.

If he said there was trouble, it couldn’t be something small.

Sure enough, by the end of the call, even he had a headache.

Running to another city to hack people, not even knowing how many he slashed? The key thing was, you lost the stuff, as if fearing someone wouldn’t find you, with the clues inside that... Then those weren’t clues anymore. Who knows what he recorded on the camera before he left?

"Just stay in the restaurant, give them some money, and tell them not to open yet, until I get there."

...

Lin Haihu hung up the phone feeling a bit embarrassed: "Well, uh, someone will come to pick me up later, so you’ll have to open a bit late today. I have money here; would it work if I give you a compensation?"

...

Yan Fei arrived much faster than he had expected. When he found the small alley and knocked on the door, this guy was stuffing his face with steamed buns, his head covered!

Irritated to the point of explosion!

He took out a stack of money and placed it on the table, addressing the shop owner and his family: "The trouble he caused isn’t small. If you keep silent, it’s over, but if you talk, I’m afraid you’ll invite trouble yourselves. Here’s some money as compensation. Quickly buy a new phone later; I’m taking this one with me. The people pursuing him are powerful, and if they trace this call to you, it’ll be problematic."

The phone has the function of recording numbers, so although simply taking the phone might not be very effective, it could help a bit.

Then he dragged Lin Haihu out and got into a car without a license plate, driving away.

...

The shop owner and his family stood there for a long time before reacting. The young man suddenly exclaimed: "Mom and Dad, did you see that? That car he drove, the steering wheel is on the left side!"

"Isn’t that a foreign car?" The shop owner was startled. "We’re really in deep trouble. What do we do now? What do we do?"

The boss lady, however, remained calm: "Open up, start business. Just pretend nothing happened. Kid, go home and fetch the old phone to use, hurry up..."

This is why bragging is easy, but when a crisis really comes, no one can predict what they’ll do. The shop owner was surprised, looking at his wife with astonishment...

...

Lin Haihu sighed: "Cousin, you’re really something, why is the car’s steering wheel on the left? Is it..."

"Pow!"

Yan Fei raised his hand, and the guy didn’t even realize it before he was slapped unconscious.

They drove the car to a corner; Yan Fei checked around to make sure no one was watching, then drove straight into the Dinosaur World.

The blackbird flew high, soaring until it reached a place not far from Tanghe County, and then Yan Fei carried Lin Haihu out.

Lin Haihu, still groggy, had no idea what had happened. His whole body ached, and the hit from Yan Fei was nothing compared to this. It wasn’t until Yan Fei stripped him of his coat that he reacted: "Cousin, what are you doing?"

Yan Fei replied coldly: "Walking three to four miles that way is the main road, heading north ten to twenty miles will take you to Tanghe County. If you’re lucky, you might catch a ride. When you get home, just say you went to Jiang City for an interview and got robbed. Make up your own story and alibis, but whatever you do, never mention you went to that city, because then I won’t be able to save you."

"At least leave me something warm to wear, I’m freezing..." Lin Haihu protested, folding his arms.

Even though it was already late spring, the early morning was still quite chilly.

"Heh, surviving is good enough, and you’re worried about being cold?" Yan Fei sneered. "Run for a while, and you won’t feel cold! Besides, your pants aren’t that small..."

Seeing that Yan Fei truly had nothing else to give him in terms of clothing and that the old clothes on the ground were bloodstained and impossible to wear, Lin Haihu finally gave up. However, he was still worried: "Are you sure they won’t trace it back to us?"

Yan Fei looked up at the sky: "It’s just dawn, do you even know how we got back?"

Lin Haihu finally realized: "Cousin, did you fly us back on a plane?"

Great, at least you’re not useless, knowing to make up a reason for me!

Yan Fei didn’t need the pretext he had thought up earlier, and after patting him on the shoulder, he advised him earnestly: "This shouldn’t be spoken of carelessly, understand? From now on, you’ve never even been to Jiang City, let alone anywhere further south. Saying it would mean I’m unable to save you, and you’ll be facing gunfire!"

Lin Haihu instantly forgot how cold the wilderness was at dawn and nodded heavily: "Don’t worry, I won’t say a word when I get back. But that camera is still with them..."

"Don’t worry about that, I’ll handle it." Yan Fei pointed out the route again. "Walk along this small path until you hit the main road, and hitch a ride if you have to, offering money if needed. I’ll handle the rest; I’m leaving first!"

With these words, he got into the car and drove off down the bumpy path.

...

Lin Haihu watched the dust clouds behind the car fade into the distance. Grinding his teeth and stomping his feet, he broke into a run in the direction Yan Fei had indicated.

He hadn’t run far before starting to mutter: "Cousin, you’re trying to kill me with this... It’s not three to four miles, it’s at least six to seven miles."

Claiming it was three to four miles; yet it was no less than six or seven.

Understandably so; Yan Fei was pressed for time, and while flying, he roughly estimated the distance, so a small miscalculation was quite normal. However, for a guy running stark naked, an extra mile was just another mile of torment!

...

Yan Fei wasn’t worried about how Lin Haihu would cover his tracks at home; lying was something Lin Haihu could handle. What concerned Yan Fei more was the issue with the camera; he rushed directly back to that city and began searching in the area Lin Haihu had mentioned.

The people were easy to find; the group chasing Lin Haihu hadn’t given up.

They were already looking for him; now that he had hacked a few of their comrades, the boss had given them orders that they couldn’t return without finding him. Hence, people had scattered around to quietly gather information, hoping to catch that kid soon.

Two young men were walking in a narrow alley, chatting as they went: "Brother Daya, where do you think that kid could be hiding? Who knew he was such a tough character, chopping down even Brother Jinggang. Damn, that kid really went hard on them, Brother Jinggang is probably not gonna make it. There’re just the two of us, what if..."

Brother Daya was very calm, having long been accustomed to his companion’s chatter: "That kid took down Brother Jinggang and others, what could the two of us do? Listen to me, if we don’t see that kid in a bit, just forget it; if we do, immediately run and report back... Wait, where is this place?"
